Abstract
We report a two-photon interference experiment in which a single-photo n wave-packet concept fails to give a correct prediction, but the two- photon wave-packet, or biphoton, concept is helpful. Based on our expe riment, we argue that single-photon wave-packet information available from two-photon measurement is limited. [S1050-2947(98)00901-9].
